Insomnia and neurasthenia are the most common. The function of the brain is like an elastic band. if you pull it, it will slowly lose its elasticity. < / p > < p > the cause of insomnia is the above introduction for you, friends can do the relevant prevention work to avoid suffering from insomnia symptoms. < / p > < p > what is insomnia? < / p > < p > whether it is difficult to fall asleep (30 minutes after going to bed), it is easy to wake up, or wake up too early, and after getting up, there are uncomfortable phenomena such as fatigue, confusion, headache, dizziness and so on, which last for a long time. Even affect your studies and work, can be diagnosed as insomnia. < / p > < p > at present, insomnia has gradually developed into an urban 'epidemic'. According to the Chinese data of the global sleep survey in 2002, the number of people with insomnia is as high as 42.7%. At present, insomnia has become the second largest disease in neurology clinics in China after headaches. < / p > < p > causes and classification of insomnia < / p > < p > according to the symptoms, insomnia can be divided into three types: difficult to fall asleep, unable to sleep continuously and wake up early. If calculated according to the duration of insomnia, it can be divided into transient insomnia (less than a week), short-term insomnia (one week to one month) and chronic insomnia (longer than a month). In addition, according to the causes of insomnia, it can be divided into physiological insomnia, psychological insomnia, pathological insomnia and drug insomnia. < / p > < p > physical diseases (such as asthma, arthralgia, sleep dyspnea), environmental factors (light, noise, room temperature) and jet lag can cause physical or physiological insomnia. Anxiety, academic and work blows, death of relatives, mental weakness, depression and so on are also the main causes of psychological insomnia and pathological insomnia. Some drugs, such as the weight-loss drug amphetamine, can cause central nervous system excitement and cause insomnia. People who take sleeping pills for a long time, once they quit, will also have withdrawal symptoms such as lighter sleep and more nightmares. Some people even have too high expectations for sleep, thinking that as long as they sleep well, they will not invade all diseases, and if they do not sleep well, they will have physical problems, thus increasing the pressure of sleep, which will easily lead to insomnia. < / p > < p > according to some insomnia studies, people who are self-demanding, life is too strict, reticent, emotional or have a strong sense of inferiority are prone to insomnia. On the other hand, people who are open-minded, cheerful and not demanding on others and themselves are less likely to suffer from insomnia. < / p > < p > although in the experiment of mice, it was found that when the mice were deprived of sleep for more than 6 days, the mice showed symptoms of dyskinesia, and with the prolongation of sleep deprivation, the brain wave voltage decreased or disappeared, or even died. However, in human experiments, the results of sleep deprivation experiments show that even if you do not sleep for a long time (more than ten days), it will not be fatal. Because even if people are forbidden to sleep under compulsion, the brain will still betray people's consciousness and sleep secretly. However, not sleeping for a long time can lead to extreme fatigue, mental and physical exhaustion, irritability, anxiety, memory loss and inability to concentrate, so the greatest impact is in the mental aspect, but severe cases can still lead to schizophrenia. < / p > < p > although the greatest impact of insomnia on people is always in the mental aspect, a long period of insufficient sleep will reduce the body's immune ability; for children, it will also reduce the secretion of growth hormone, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the body. < / p > < p > treatment of insomnia < / p > < p > the main treatments of insomnia include drug therapy, psychotherapy and behavioral therapy. < / p > < p > in terms of drug treatment, low-dose and short-term use of sleeping pills is one of the important means, but sleeping pills with few side effects still have dependence or addiction, so they must strictly follow the guidance of medical staff. never try to use or abuse it on your own. Pregnant women, mothers who are still breastfeeding, patients with heart disease and people with liver or kidney dysfunction should not take sleeping pills. In addition, sleeping pills should not be taken after drinking, because both of them can inhibit the central nervous system, which may be damaged if the central nervous system is excessively inhibited. < / p > < p > in addition to drug treatment, the so-called release of the bell must also be tied to the bell, and heart disease always needs to be treated with heart medicine. If there is something wrong with the body and cause insomnia (such as asthma, fever), as long as these problems are properly treated, the symptoms of insomnia will naturally disappear. If the main cause of insomnia is mood, neurasthenia, depression, etc., it is necessary to find experts in this field (such as a psychiatrist) to help, make appropriate psychological treatment, in order to thoroughly solve the potential problems. < / p > < p > Behavioral therapy (such as stimulus control therapy, sleep restriction therapy, etc.) is also popular in western countries to treat insomnia. The main methods of behavioral therapy are inseparable from: < / p > < p > you can't lie in bed or stay in the bedroom except sleep. < / p > < p > do not lie in bed reading books, reading newspapers, watching TV or listening to radio and music. < / p > < p > if you lie in bed for 30 minutes and still can't fall asleep, you must get up and leave the bedroom. Only when you are really sleepy can you go back to bed. < / p > No matter how good your sleep is that night, you should get up regularly every day. < / p > < p > do not go to bed during the day (especially those with insomnia). < / p > In addition, any method that helps to relax, such as gradual relaxation and listening to light music, can promote sleep. < / p > < p > Summary < / p > < p > good sleep can energize people, get back to work, and promote health, so it is necessary to develop good sleep habits, including: < / p > < p > go to bed regularly, get up and don't stay in bed. < / p > < p > do not drink coffee, tea or alcoholic beverages after dinner, let alone smoke. < / p > < p > Don't be hungry or full before going to bed; if you feel hungry, you can only eat some cookies and drink a glass of milk. < / p > < p > choose suitable bedding to create a good sleep environment (suitable temperature, avoid bright light and noise). < / p > < p > do the right amount of physical exercise every day. < / p > < p > Don't worry too much about the negative effects of insomnia so as not to put pressure on sleep. < / p > < p > if you can't fall asleep for a period of time (such as 30 minutes), get up immediately, leave the bedroom, and don't go back to bed until you are really sleepy. < / p > In short, in order to fall asleep easily, it is necessary to avoid the brain from being overexcited; even if it is insomnia, don't be too nervous, because the more nervous you are and the more you want to sleep, the more excited your brain will be and the harder it will be to fall asleep. < / p >
